What’s In This One Cup Cobbler

The ingredients for One Cup Cobbler are a beautiful blend of simple, wholesome items that come together to create a comforting dessert. It’s about balance; the sweetness of the fruit pairs perfectly with the buttery, slightly sweet batter, making every bite a delightful experience.

• Butter: ¼ cup of butter is the foundational ingredient, providing richness and flavor to the cobbler. It melts during baking, creating a golden, crispy edge.
• Flour: 1 cup of flour acts as the structure for the cobbler. It binds everything together while giving it a light texture.
• Sugar: 1 cup of white granulated sugar enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors of the fruit.
• Milk: 1 cup of milk adds moisture to the batter, making it soft and tender.
• Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon of cinnamon brings warmth and depth to the dish, making it even more comforting.
• Canned Fruit: A 15 oz can of fruit provides the sweet, juicy filling. You can use peaches, pears, or whatever you prefer!

How to Assemble One Cup Cobbler

Assembling One Cup Cobbler is a breeze, and I love how straightforward the process is. You’ll find that each step is simple and allows you to enjoy the process of baking. Let’s dig into how to make this delicious dessert!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your One Cup Cobbler bakes evenly. While the oven heats, you can get everything else ready.

2. Prepare a 2-quart baking dish by spraying it with non-stick spray. This is crucial so your cobbler doesn’t stick to the pan.

3. Place the butter into the dish and put it in the oven during the preheating stage. This will melt the butter, making it easier to mix later.

4. While the butter is melting, drain the canned fruit thoroughly. You want the fruit to be as dry as possible to avoid adding excess moisture to the batter.

5. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, milk, and cinnamon. Use a whisk to mix until everything is well blended and you achieve a smooth batter.

6. Once the butter is melted, take the baking dish out of the oven. Be careful, as the dish will be hot! Pour the flour mixture into the melted butter, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

7. Now, it’s time to add the fruit. Pour it gently over the batter, ensuring it’s distributed evenly. You can either leave it on top or mix it slightly into the batter.

8. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake on the center rack. It should take about 35 to 45 minutes. Keep an eye on it; the cobbler is done when the surface is no longer jiggly and has a beautiful golden-brown color.

9. Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This will help the cobbler set a bit more.

10. Serve the One Cup Cobbler warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence!

Ways to Customize

Customizing One Cup Cobbler is a fun part of the cooking process! Here are a few ideas to make it your own:

• Add Spices: Try adding nutmeg or even a splash of almond extract for an extra layer of flavor.
• Mix Fruit Types: Don’t hesitate to combine different types of fruit for a mixed cobbler experience.
• Use Whole Wheat Flour: Substitute half or all of the flour with whole wheat for a nuttier flavor and more fiber.
• Sweetener Variations: Experiment with brown sugar or honey to give a different sweetness profile.
• Top with Oats: For a crunchy topping, sprinkle some oats or nuts on top before baking.
• Vegan Option: Swap butter for coconut oil or a vegan butter substitute and use plant-based milk.

Best Served With

When it comes to serving One Cup Cobbler, there are endless possibilities to enhance your experience.

• Whipped Cream: Light and fluffy whipped cream makes a lovely addition, adding a creamy texture.
• Fresh Berries: Garnish the plate with fresh berries for a pop of color and additional flavor.
• Seasonal Pairings: In the fall, pair with spiced tea, while summer calls for refreshing citrus drinks.
• Gatherings and Celebrations: It’s perfect for family dinners, picnics, or holiday celebrations, bringing everyone together.
• Storage Tips: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to four days. Just reheat before serving!
